	A Hypertrophic Scar is a type of scar that forms on the skin as a result of excessive collagen deposition during the wound healing process. Unlike some other scar types, a hypertrophic scar is elevated but does not extend beyond the original boundaries of the wound. Over time, these scars may stabilize or even regress spontaneously, but they often leave a permanent mark.

== Hypertrophic Scar ==

A Hypertrophic Scar is a type of scar that forms on the skin as a result of excessive collagen deposition during the wound healing process. Unlike some other scar types, a hypertrophic scar is elevated but does not extend beyond the original boundaries of the wound. Over time, these scars may stabilize or even regress spontaneously, but they often leave a permanent mark.
